The Five Big Things: Finding Focus in a Chaotic 2025

Ever feel like your to-do list is longer than a CVS receipt? You’re not alone. In this episode, Michelle Loret de Mola and Dev Patnaik break down why leaders struggle to focus and how narrowing down to just five key priorities can be a game-changer. They discuss why leaders need to actually decide what matters, how Sam Altman and Brian Chesky cut through the noise, and why the Broccoli family’s James Bond strategy is a lesson in focus. Oh, and if your team can’t rattle off your top five priorities without checking their notes? This episode might just be for you.
